    Now this is what I am talking about! WB Games has announced the collectors’ edition for Batman: Arkham Origins and it is a beauty. The set will run you $119.99 and come packed full of goodies. Here is the rundown:

    -Nine inch statue of The Joker with full LED effects

    -80 page art book

    -Two pieces of GCPD evidence in crime lab wrapping

    -Wanted poster for Batman

    -Glow in the dark map of Gotham City

    -Wayne family photo

    -Intel dossiers on all eight assassins

    -Batwing schematic

    -Anarchy logo stencil

    -First appearance Batman skin from Detective Comics #27

    -Deathstroke Challenge Pack

    -Necessary Evil documentary

    -Knightfall DLC pack (PS3 only)

    That is quite a haul for a collectors’ edition. Having purchased both previous sets for Arkham Asylum and Arkham City I can easily say this is the best of the three and that statue is worth the price of admission for me.

    How about you? Is there enough here to warrant a $120 purchase?

    Chances are if you are already getting [amazon_link id=”B00BRQN2H4″ target=”_blank” container=”” container_class=”” ]Saints Row IV[/amazon_link] then you are a bit on the ridiculous side. Don’t worry, there are a lot of us. If you expected the Collector’s Edition of the game to be anything less, you have another thing coming.

    This insane set named “The Super Dangerous Wub Wub Edition” comes with the Commander in Chief version of the game, an 8 inch Johnny Gat memorial statue, a Dubstep Doomsday button (because why the hell not?) and the pride and joy of this $100 box of insanity, an actual replica Dubstep Gun.

    To add more fuel to this crazy train, the Dubstep Gun will play the same song heard in the game when you use the weapon and come equipped with a laser sight.

    You can’t make this shit up people.

    Saints Row IV releases on August 20th.

  • Tomb Raider Collector’s Edition Announced

    Have A Look At Lara’s Goodies.

    Today Square Enix and Crystal Dynamics announced their collector’s edition for next year’s highly anticipated reboot of Tomb Raider. It will retail for $99.99 and release on March 5th. Square has said that quantities will be limited thus the “collector’s” stamp (hmmm….not so sure).

    The collection will include the following:

    – 8″ Play Arts Kai Lara Croft figure (hopefully it will not look like a** like their Mass Effect Commander Shepard)

    – Three iron-on patches that represent three of the achievements in the game

    – A 5″x7″ lithograph of Lara Croft

    – A 15″x19″ map of Yamati Island, the island on which Lara is shipwrecked

    – “Weapons Pack” DLC which gives Lara extra weapons for in-game use

    – A 10 track CD soundtrack from the game

    What say all of you? Is this worth the bump up in price to $100?
